Thanks to the diligence of the geek squad here at mollusk, we finally got around to updating the site with our slew of boards that are currently residing in the shop and hopefully one day will be taken home and given a warm and loving home...in da pit!

Stoked & Broke MOVED TO TRIBECA GRAND HOTEL!

Deep roots surf history next Wednesday 10/20/10 8pm on the Grand Screen Theater at TRIBECA GRAND HOTEL...
Surf Movie 2Nite is pleased to announce a special screening of "Stoked and Broke" by Cyrus Sutton (Riding Waves, Under the Sun) on Wednesday October 20, 2010 8pm at TRIBECA GRAND HOTEL. The screening will be preceded by a seminar on planing hulls by surf historian Richard Kenvin with a slideshow by photographer Ryan Field.

"Stoked and Broke," a Staycation Surfari Epic on Zero Dollars…

Making their own boards, bamboo rickshaws, solar cookers, and hobo stoves, surfers Ryan Burch and Cyrus Sutton set off on a thirty mile, eight day walk through San Diego, CA. But what begins as a guide to taking a minimalist surfing journey, quickly becomes an examination of freedom vs alienation. Starring: San Diego, Ryan Burch, Cyrus Sutton, Richard Kenvin, Lucas Dirkse, Eric Snortum, Glen Horn, Roberta Horn and Kneeboard Steve. Soundtrack by The Blank Tapes and Mike McCarthy

Mr. Kenvin's seminar "Planing Totems: 1948-Now" will explore the roots of planing hulls via naval architect Lindsay Lord, early hawaiian paipo and alaia designs, Bob Simmons dual fins, the 'mini' Simmons, the Steve Lis fish and recent closed cell foam experiments. A small quiver of boards will be on hand for viewing.

Anchors Aweigh

Just like the good old neighborhood days when cigarettes were sold out of trunks of cars and cement shoes were fashioned more than Top-sider's, we got a batch of Fineline's that came off the truck...

...Petro is coming to town this week, so drop off any boards for ding repair you may want touched up. For the adventurous type, we also have ding repair kits in the shop. Take heed to those doing repairs in small studios as the ventilation and lighting maybe an issue...

An interesting detailed note on an outgoing repair, not necessary but helpful...
12- 8 daily.

For those looking to chow down on Rockaway Taco's delicious grinds, the kind folks are hosting a fundraising feast this evening at the Eagle Street rooftop farm btw Franklin & West Street in Greenpoint Brooklyn from 6:30 - 9:00 pm.

With a fresh stack of T.S.J.'s in the shop, a flip through the pages turned up a profile on RK's domicile...

... that caught our attention with this quote. In short RK, we await your arrival.

At the time of print we couldn't get an exact location, but Mollusk jet setter Ty Hunny left us instead with a rather cryptic message...

Been around the world
And we been playa hated
and I don't know why
they want us hated
I don't know why they hate us
Is it our ladies?
Or I drive Mercedes
Bay-bee bay-BEE!
